The Weekly Horoscope

Week from 25 Sep to 01 Oct 2017

The Sun is in Libra now and, with Jupiter in Libra, desires more balance. The strong planets in Virgo can balance out chaotic and unsettling factors (Neptune) with their keenness and clarity. On the other hand, Neptune has the task of implementing its
impartiality and boundless love when the planets in Virgo become too headstrong, petty and narrow minded. When all the planets consciously comply with their tasks, nothing can go wrong. When something is not ok, it is because you exaggerate to make
yourself important or to paper over your weaknesses. Sincerity is not a talent, rather it is a choice that you have to consistently make anew. It requires courage to recognize your own disingenuousness. You recognize it much easier in other people who
you do not especially like.

Partnership / Love:

Venus comes closer and closer to Mars, and both enter a trine with Pluto, which approves of this convergence and supports it with a mixture of passion and seriousness. When partners get close to each other it is a serious matter, even if the Sun and
Jupiter in Libra like to pretend it is all just a lovely game. The opposition between Jupiter and Uranus suggests that in the “game” we are reaching a turning point where it does not have to become more fun and more entertaining, but rather much
deeper.

Mars and Neptune are now opposed and in a few days (Saturday) Venus will take over the position of Mars. That is the perfect point in time to express a wish and make it a goal. Maybe you already got an idea last week, but it was not taken as seriously
as now. The Sagittarius Moon needs far-reaching goals and high-flying dreams that Saturn in Sagittarius would like to make come true. The subsequent Capricorn Moon promotes seriousness and adopts the high demands from the Sagittarius Moon. The week
ends with the Moon in Aquarius, which gives you the feeling of having already arrived in a new world. At least that is what it sounds like.

Partnership / Love:

The Libra Sun indicates presence. You have to be there for each other, take time to experience each other. If someone puts in special effort, it would be nice to feel some gratitude and appreciation for it. Uranus and Jupiter are at a high point of
their joint cycle. How much space can you give each other without one of you feeling neglected? Can you sense your connection even if you are not together? (Venus-Neptune)

Your healing regimen runs on high speed. By now you will discover the pleasure in it (Venus-Neptune); you could call it an enchantment. You are in a state in which imagination and inspiration flow, and you open up more and more. The Sun has just
reached Libra, and Mercury follows it this weekend. With that, and with the Aquarius Moon, the joyful and pleasant are emphasized at the end of the week after some things have been endured and overcome (Moon conjunct Saturn in Sagittarius and through
Capricorn, Wednesday through Friday). On Sunday Mars and Pluto are trine and indicate a strong will, but also a confrontation with political and other power issues. You find, or would find, it nice to be able to manage and control more again.

Partnership / Love:

Venus gets closer and closer to Mars. The two planets of love depict a slow and careful development. While Venus intensifies the longing (Neptune) and would like to draw this out a bit more, Mars is increasingly stimulated (Pluto) and would like to
unite with Venus. Venus can be beguiled by Mars – or barely just “get away” and delay the game by paying homage to the Aquarius Moon with its love of freedom.

Mars opposing Neptune continues to fight against (supposed?) chaos and will have achieved a lot by the end of the week. You develop clarity and control and with each visible improvement, you are better. If you had forgotten how to dream, it comes back
now (Venus-Neptune). You develop a joy in letting go, in reduction, in straightforwardness. It is important to the Libra Sun that everything look beautiful. This weekend Mercury follows them into Libra and supports this need. The Aquarius Moon and
Mercury in Libra indicate a desire for friendly contacts this weekend. You need mental stimuli that help you to forget the odds and ends that you were busy struggling with recently.

Partnership / Love:

Venus gets closer to Mars and will almost have reached it this weekend. You like this slow game of convergence, even if you get impatient. It is also a beautiful, romantic scenario that does justice to the demands of the Libra Sun and the wistful
connection between Venus and Neptune. If you should feel the urge to control situations, you have to look out that you do not throw your partner off their guard with this urge now.

You have difficulty forming a clear thought, but the effort is worth it. It is now your task to orient yourself in a sea of information and impressions, to distinguish the essential from the inessential and thus bring structure to chaos. The Moon
supports this process when it transits from Sagittarius to Aquarius now, where Saturn is and rules, respectively. You can also experience it through people and organizations who help you with the sorting, inasmuch as you are open for that type of
support. How great is your desire to determine everything yourself? Is that even the case? In which areas of life would you prefer to decide things on your own? Does someone else have a space and a chance to participate?

Partnership / Love:

The encounter between Venus and Mars that is forming now takes place on the level of communication, but under the influence of Neptune it can also go much deeper and then also succeed nonverbally. Without spiritual connection, relationships are
soulless and thus totally uninteresting to you, downright unthinkable. What is building now comes very, very close to your conceptions and will continue to deepen when Jupiter enters Scorpio in October.

The Sun has arrived in Libra. That already feels better for Leos because Libra is oriented towards pleasure and because the tension with Saturn, which indicated limitations, has been overcome. Venus and Mars remain in modest, well-behaved and
industrious Virgo, and until the weekend, Mercury is also in Virgo, where thinking is narrow, subtle and critical. So things only get fun again this weekend (Aquarius Moon), which you gladly emphasize by turning to people with whom you can easily be
happy with. Are you thus distracting yourself from another topic that is occupying you more than you care to admit? Is it a private concern?

Partnership / Love:

Your relationship is a serious matter. Venus and Mars in Virgo have little sense of humor; they simply would like to have clear relationships and to know where they stand. Experience teaches you that love is unpredictable. That is why you may tend
towards controlling or manipulative behavior. Are you maybe not even aware of that? Mercury in tension with Saturn at the beginning of the week is calling for self-critique, and also the Moon points in this direction because it conjoins Saturn on
Tuesday.

Mars in Virgo is opposing Neptune in Pisces. You certainly have more than enough to do and do not know where you should begin. Venus approaches Mars and suggests that you like the hard work and that it is good for you, even if, when people listen to
you, they could surmise that you are suffering from it. Mercury in Virgo has complained enough by the end of the weekend and in Libra will focus on different things in communication. Until then Venus has made clear that the role of busy Lizzie really
appeals to you, and the Aquarius Moon on Saturday / Sunday is an invitation to take part in collaborative games. You come across different thoughts and suddenly you emit totally different, friendlier and more satisfied sounds.

Partnership / Love:

Venus becomes ever stronger, bringing peace to your relationship life and mitigating any possible pointed remarks from Mars. Your radiance is very seductive now. In case you still believed that issues of love were superfluous or that nobody would be
interested in you, you will now (in the second half of the week) determine that this is not true at all. Were you – once again – too pessimistic?

Just as the Sun moved from Virgo to Libra last weekend, this weekend Mercury will now do so. The sign of Virgo continues to be emphasized with Venus and Mars, and because these planets are getting closer and closer, opposing Neptune and entering a
trine aspect with Pluto in Capricorn, a sensual, imaginal, powerful and pleasurable connection arises. The sign of Libra indicates a pleasure that the previously mentioned planets conjure up together. If you are artistically active, you will be kissed
by the muse this week, and you do not even quite know how it happened to you. The daily work of non-artists can equally benefit from a creative boost. All you need to do for that is to enter a relaxed state, and that could take a few days, namely
until Mercury moves out of tension with Saturn.

Partnership / Love:

Do you already feel more vitality? That intensifies over the next days and results in a beautiful weekend with Mercury in Libra and an Aquarius Moon. You emerge from a grouchy and stressed state into a joyous and liberated feeling. Business before
pleasure… As a rule, work takes five days and is rewarded over the weekend. This rule fits very well this week.

This week, you get a little more “Libra” (balance) again. Meanwhile Mars and Venus are very close together and depict beautifully how conflict (Mars) and peace (Venus) struggle with each other. It is also about assertiveness (Mars) versus letting
things happen (Venus), demanding versus accepting, work versus pleasure, drive versus beauty. We have to bring each of these things together. Something very creative emerges in the process, which is further reinforced by Neptune and Pluto. Neptune
brings playfulness and imagination, and Pluto brings the power of endurance, goal-directedness (Capricorn) and passion. As a cardinal sign, Libra is oriented toward success. With such planetary support, the work has to succeed.

Partnership / Love:

You should not only be indulgent with your partner but also with yourself. Mercury in tension with Saturn depicts (self-)critical but also very honest thinking. It looks like a bad conscience. No one is perfect, and if that were not true, we would all
be horribly boring, would have no polarities, and therefore zero attractiveness. Now, while Venus and Mars struggle with each other, you do not want to renounce the power of attraction under any circumstances.

This week begins with the tension between Mercury (Virgo) and Saturn (Sagittarius). Two worlds collide, and you have the task of bringing these two worlds into a constructive cooperation. If you have already identified these two worlds, or at least
one of them, in your environment, you should consider the possibility that the two worlds also exist within you. As long as you search outside of yourself for what does not appeal to you, you will remain stuck in your one-sided attitude. If you are
aiming for versatility and an overview, you have to look within. In case that is too stressful or too far away from your reality, time and the future constellations will meet you halfway. Jupiter and Uranus reach the highpoint of their cycle, and
Jupiter will move from Libra into Scorpio soon.

Partnership / Love:

Venus wanders into an opposition with Neptune after Mars. Venus can handle Neptune energies better than Mars, and so this week develops to less strenuous and less frustrating ends, which will be felt this weekend (Aquarius Moon). Relationships are
serious matters. There must be something else, more joy, amusement, sensuality and playfulness…

If something was exaggerated (Jupiter, Uranus and Saturn in masculine signs), you have to find your way back to normal. You cannot turn back time, but you have to accept the new situation and shape it such that you can orient yourself well. Mars
enters a trine with Pluto, like Mercury did last week, and indicates that you tend to exert power and resort to strict methods. Gentle methods have not been effective enough. Venus, however, gives gentle methods (Neptune) a chance and can influence
Mars through its proximity. Even the Sun and Jupiter in Libra, which are joined by Mercury soon, indicate that you proceed in a diplomatic and considerate fashion. Jupiter and Uranus are opposed and thus at a turning point. Suddenly everything is
totally different than you just thought.

Partnership / Love:

If there are no trips, there are at least excursions. You need to be on the road together, have joint experiences that bring you closer together. Even an emergency situation brings partners closer, and then things are only half as bad. Mars and Venus
in Virgo gladly help each other out, and when they approach each other as closely as they are now and next week, partners fuse together.

Jupiter and Uranus reach the climax of their cycle. You have explored and exploited the possibilities. It is time to take stock and adjust to a

quieter pace. But you fail to see that right away. At the beginning of the week Mercury and Mars have trouble and think they can force something. Venus arrives with the wisdom of the Goddess Athena and gradually manages to get Mars and Mercury to calm
down. Instead of stressfully running after success, you should accept what you have achieved and turn to things that are actually good for you. Before you have this insight, you will still struggle a little (Moon conjunct Saturn, Moon through
Capricorn). On Saturday the penny should drop – there are things that you have neglected for far too long and which will put you into a totally different, much better mood.

Partnership / Love:

Venus comes closer and closer to Mars, and in Virgo a lot of mindfulness is needed for each other (intensified by the opposition to Neptune and the trine to Pluto). Small gestures, caresses and words release a lot, creating intimacy and intensity. If
you defend yourself against that, you draw the matter out and then make the experience that much more intense. Can you prevent that? Would you even want to prevent it?

You are in an uncomfortable role. Have you brought this onto yourself? Sought it out yourself? Did you imagine it to be different and easier? This week offers a few more difficult situations before things get easier again, which Venus announces
because it opposes Pisces and Neptune. Before that, you have to endure and handle a couple critical remarks from Mars and Mercury. Surely there is something to learn and accept. Criticism never arises in vain, rather it is a means to sensitize you to
things that you would not notice without critique. Towards the end of the week you can fall into a state of exhaustion. By then at the latest you need a person who tells you how valuable you are.

Partnership / Love:

Venus is getting closer and closer to Mars and gives you a very intense relationship game. Can you appreciate this, or are you still clinging to a small problem that Mars caused for you with its impetuous nature? Once again, make yourself aware that
your strength is sensitivity and that it is on you to express yourself as clearly as possible so that your partner understands what is going on with you.
